Public Events

In addition to its "regular" lectures and conferences, the RIAS also organizes a diverse array of other events to engage the public on the Roosevelts and their legacy.
Public Events

The RIAS serves both an academic and a public function. Alongside conducting and facilitating research and acting as a meeting point for scholars, the Institute also plays an important regional role in Zeeland. Together with its Rooseveltian partners – the Roosevelt Foundation and University College Roosevelt – the RIAS organizes public events and raises awareness of the Roosevelt legacy and its ideals through a variety of outreach activities.
